If this drink does not operate the morning fol- 

 lowing, it must be repeated ; if otherwise, give him 

 the drink (No. 59, p. 293), once a day, or every

 It is a usual practice, amqngst country farriers, to 

 open the tumor in five or six places with a;la,Hcet, 

 or by aqJL.ual cautery ; and afterwards to dress tjie 

 wounds witji digestive ointment or oils; but this 

 method is always attended with dapger, :as the 

 blood being ill a bad state, renders i% difficult tp 

 bring the wounds to a good digestion : and if this 

 be not effected, a gangrene and mortification in ge- 

 neral takes place about the wounds ; which, if not 

 stopped in time, will occasion the horse's death.
